Comment: I have undiagnosed lower back pain (3 years). I am on my way tapering down on Fentanyl patches, but because of this I have add'l pain. The Flector patch seems to work well. My Doc told me to cut it in half, apply to pain site for 12 hours, and remove. I do this each morning, and try to make it through the night without it. It has been effective in reducing my pain.

Comment: Used patches for 3 mos for arthritis--hips, knee, spine, hands, shoulders w/exc results. Recommend using tape to help it attach--I use fabric "Cover-Roll stretch tape" from my PT--made by "Beirsdorf" 10ydsx2" for ~$20.
